Global food systems are under increasing pressure from a convergence of challenges: shifting governance priorities and a reduction in traditional Official Development Assistance (ODA) threaten already fragile systems; conflicts and protracted crises disrupt critical agricultural production and global supply chains, impacting the right to food; and systemic market failures limit businesses' incentives to drive change. In parallel, decentralized evidence generation, persistent youth unemployment, gender exclusion, and the inconsistent implementation of multilateral initiatives erode trust and hinder progress. 

This session is a dialogue among critical stakeholders, aligning with the South African G20 Presidency’s priorities. It aims to map a collective vision to future-proof food security, improve nutrition, and tackle the systemic barriers undermining progress in SDGs 1, 2, 5, and 10. By integrating food and nutrition security into macroeconomic policies and fostering cross-sector collaboration, this session aims to highlight actionable pathways to implement policies (up to the grassroots level) and scale investments, and to create/advance accountability frameworks. With stability, inclusion, and social justice at its core, investments and partnerships remain vital for building peaceful and resilient food systems.
